| Abstract: | This article focuses on the application of intimacy theory in tourism industry. First the types of intimacy and their relations to tourism are discussed. Then Stern's model of relationship with the following stages is presented: A, Acquintance; B, Buildup; C, Continuation; and D, Dissolution. It is argued that even though holidays are commercial products, instead of purchasing the place or the location consumers are purchasing time for togetherness with significant others. |
